The Man loves peanut butter… I’m always looking for something with peanut butter that will make him happy.  A few weeks ago someone made Rice Crispy Treats with this hard coating type frosting.  After eating those, I thought why not make them with Captain Crunch instead of Rice Krispies?  So here they are.. I hope you like them!

These are so good.  If you like peanut butter you will love these.

The ingredients are super easy.. Peanut Butter Captain Crunch,

marshmallows, butter, peanut butter chips,  peanut butter

and if you really love  peanuts you can add those too.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter.

Add a bag of marshmallows stir until melted.

Add Peanut Butter Chips to bowl..

Add 1/2 of the big box or all of a small box of Captain Crunch

Peanut Butter crunch cereal.

Add melted marshmallows, and 1/2 cup of peanut butter.

Mix together.  Make sure all the peanut butter chips and cereal

have been coated with marshmallow.

Add to 13×9 pan.

Let cool and serve!

Peanut Butter Marshmallow Treats

• 4 tablespoons   butter or margarine
• 1 package (10 oz.)   regular marshmallows
• 12 oz   Captain Crunch Peanut Butter Cereal
• 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
• 1 bag peanut butter chips
• 1/2 cup peanuts (optional)
  

Directions:
1. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.

2. To a large bowl add Captain Crunch Peanut Butter cereal, peanut butter chips, peanut butter and melted marshmallows. Stir until well coated.

3. Using buttered spatula or your hands, evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Let cool and serve!

When I made this.. it was out of desperation.  I didn’t have much on the pantry shelves, and only slightly remembered some kind of fancy named food called Beef Carbonnade.  Which is basically a super rich beer stew.   I only took a photo of the finished product.. because I was pretty sure it would be a flop… but it wasn’t

Here’s what you need:

1 bottle of brown beer.  (I used Sam Adams Autumn Ale)

2lbs of round steak, flank, or roast meat

1 8oz can of tomato paste

2 onions sliced thin

1 cup flour

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 1/2 cups beef broth or stock

Salt and pepper to taste

Throw all the ingredients into your slow cooker (except the meat).. mix together, making sure the tomato paste and flour is incorporated.  Add the meat, cover and cook for 6+ hours.

When it’s finished serve over wide noodles  OR over mashed potatoes.  I added some homemade sweet onion rings to the top of mine.
